1 La población comenzó a multiplicarse sobre la tierra. 2 Entonces los hijos de Dios se fijaron en la belleza de las mujeres y tomaron como mujeres a todas las que quisieron. 3 Por eso el Señor dijo: «No dejaré que el ser humano viva muchísimos años, porque su maldad ha aumentado. De modo que sólo lo dejaré vivir ciento veinte años». 4 En aquellos días y aun después, cuando los hijos de Dios tuvieron relaciones con mujeres, nacieron gigantes que fueron famosos por su valentía. 5 Cuando el Señor Dios vio el alcance de la maldad humana, y que la gente sólo pensaba en hacer lo malo, le dolió haberla creado y se llenó de mucho pesar. 7 Entonces Dios dijo: «Voy a borrar de la tierra todo lo que he creado, hombres, animales, reptiles y aves. ¡Lamento haberlos creado!». 8 Pero Noé contaba con la aprobación del Señor. 9 Esta es la historia de Noé y de sus descendientes. Noé era un hombre justo y bueno, y todo el tiempo vivía conforme a la voluntad de Dios. 10 Noé tuvo tres hijos: Sem, Cam y Jafet. 11 Dios vio que la humanidad se había degenerado, y practicaba la violencia. La depravación llegó a tal extremo que un día Dios le dijo a Noé: «He decidido destruir a la humanidad, porque por su culpa hay mucha violencia y corrupción en la tierra. Sí, voy a destruir a toda la gente junto con lo que hay en el mundo. 14 Hazte un barco de madera de pino, cubre todas sus hendijas con alquitrán, y hazle cubiertas y camarotes a todo lo largo. 15 Hazlo de ciento treinta y cinco metros de largo, veintidós metros y medio de ancho y trece metros y medio de alto. 16 Permite que entre el techo y la pared alrededor de todo el barco haya un espacio libre de unos cuarenta y cinco centímetros para que tanto la luz como el aire puedan circular. Hazle tres cubiertas: una cubierta inferior, una intermedia y una superior, y hazle una puerta al costado. 17 Porque voy a inundar la tierra con un diluvio para destruir a todos los seres vivos. Todos morirán. 18 Pero contigo haré un pacto, de modo que entrarás en el barco junto con tus hijos, tu esposa, y tus nueras, para que no mueran. 19 »De cada animal trae un macho y una hembra, y hazlos entrar en el barco contigo, para que sobrevivan al diluvio. Haz entrar una pareja de cada especie de animal, ave y reptil. 21 También guarda en el barco todo el alimento que tú y ellos necesitarán». 22 Y Noé hizo todo lo que Dios le mandó.

What the Fathers said

Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).

How these were chosen

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
